is not going to win over any magats, and it depresses the Democratic base.


Better if Ryan had not talked about Democrats or President "Fighting Joe Biden", at all...


talking about yourself is negated when you criticize your own party...


However, Ohio seems far out of reach lately. I don't really understand it..

...THE ONE FUCKING DEMOCRAT THAT CAN WIN AND HAS WON STATEWIDE IN OHIO -- SHERROD BROWN -- DOES NONE OF THOSE THINGS!

Ryan should just switch parties and run as a """responsible""" Republican. The best performers of the night have been Democrats and those seen as """responsible""" Republicans. The Trump extremists only did well in extremist areas they were already expected to win in.

The ideal Republican.

I am so sorry. I lived in a red state for a while and it really sucks. I can’t believe weak heartless slime like him and Abbott aren’t run out of town on a rail.

We need to put our effort into keeping blue states blue, and making states like Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania bluer shades of purple.
